TESTIMONIALS

“I worked with Manisha on a recent security transformation programme where she lead the technology transformation work stream that was responsible for delivering our corporate security strategy. Her knowledge of IT, and specifically security, coupled with her energy, focus and stakeholder management skills were second to none and is the difference between a project being successful or not. It was a pleasure working with Manisha and I hope we get the opportunity to do so again in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Manisha for anyone looking for project / programme leadership or security management.”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Manisha for a role either focused on GDPR or on Information Security Governance. I worked closely with Manisha during her time at Menzies Distribution and it became clear to me very quickly that she is vastly experienced in both areas. Manisha initially joined Menzies as the Project Manager for the GDPR programme but very quickly took on a far more hands on role as the acting DPO reporting to the Head of Legal. Her work in developing a GDPR Governance structure and the supporting policies, processes, and procedures was absolutely vital in Menzies being able to push forward with its compliance. Having Manisha available to bounce ideas off of was hugely helpful to me as I worked to develop the Information Security structure and strategy for Menzies. Her knowledge in the area of Information Security was invaluable. Throughout the time I worked with Manisha she showed herself to be an extremely professional and conscientious individual. Her friendly and helpful approach to her role enabled her to build excellent relationships with the key stakeholders in the business. I would welcome working with her again in the future.”

“Manisha worked as a Senior Project Manager within the Business Information Security programme at House of Fraser. She helped shape the programme and her experience in security (ISF), data protection (DPA / GDPR) and global payment compliance processes (PCI) was invaluable. Once business cases and target operating model were approved, Manisha undertook four key projects to achieve the strategy. Security Training & Communication was the first critical deliverable within the programme thus to ensure the training to the entire House of Fraser employees was undertook reducing end user risk to the business by raising awareness and education. Manisha produced and provided the onsite training throughout the UK to a variety of levels / functions with commendable feedback. The Governance, Risk & Compliance project involved third party compliance meetings with merchant providers (Barclaycard) and PCI auditors. GDPR and Identity & Access Management were her last two and involved significant assessment and review of the entire business model. Manisha passion and drive to deliver was evident throughout her tenure. I can highly recommended Manisha. Thanks for all your help.”
